Remarks

One of icons how impact crater should look like. New Quebec is one of the most well preserved impact structures on Earth which are larger and older than Barringer.Some times ago Canadians want to change name of this structure to Pingualuit. This native name did not catch up. I always prefer native names but name New Quebec is too much used in sientific articles.Impactor: chondrite.
